State-of-the-art technology for the field installation of high quality, low dilution weld overlay can provide a viable solution to digester corrosion problems. The automation of the weld process achieves high productivity and total weld fusion not possible with other field protection methods. With meticulous attention to proper installation practices, weld overlays have proven to be an economical means of restoring worn digesters to their original design pressure as well as providing a durable solution to digester corrosion problems.
